Provided by Southern Living Editors

Time 50m

Yield Makes 12 to 14 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), frozen
2 ½ cups self-rising flour
1 cup chilled buttermilk
Parchment paper
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Grate frozen butter using large holes of a box grater. Toss together grated butter and flour in a medium bowl. Chill 10 minutes.
  • Make a well in center of mixture. Add buttermilk, and stir 15 times. Dough will be sticky.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly sprinkle flour over top of dough. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into a ¾-inch-thick rectangle (about 9 x 5 inches). Fold dough in half so short ends meet. Repeat rolling and folding process 4 more times.
  • Roll dough to ½-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 ½-inch floured round cutter, reshaping scraps and flouring as needed.
  • Place dough rounds on a parchment paper-lined jelly-roll pan. Bake at 475°F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with melted butter.

THE BEST FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



The Best Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits image

We tried several versions of this recipe, including one with double the amount of baking powder. And while the biscuits turned out puffy and beautiful, they ultimately were too dry. So, we tweaked the baking powder amount along with the butter and buttermilk and arrived at these beauties -flaky, golden, tender and moist, just as biscuits should be.

Time 35m

Yield 12 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the remaining 8 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until pea-size bits of butter remain. Use a rubber spatula to stir the buttermilk into the flour until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough. (Don't overmix the dough.)
  • Lightly flour a cutting board or work surface, turn the dough out onto it and pat into a rectangle. Fold the dough in half and pat again into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Then fold the dough in thirds, as if folding a letter, and pat to an even thickness. Cut out biscuits with a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter and put on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the remaining scraps of dough. Pat out and fold the dough into thirds again and cut out more biscuits. Brush the biscuit tops with buttermilk.
  • Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pan at least 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

EXTRA-FLAKY SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Extra-Flaky Southern Buttermilk Biscuits image

These biscuits are folded, creating a layered effect. These biscuits are well worth the effort--tender and very flaky. For best results, use White Lily all-purpose flour. It is ground from a special low-gluten soft wheat and is perfect for making biscuits.

Time 35m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 cups white lily all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup shortening, cut into pieces
1 3/4-2 cups cold buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened to room temperature,cut into 1 tablespoon portions

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In bowl, combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.

  • With short side nearest you, spread top two-thirds of dough with 3 tablespoons soft butter, leaving bottom third, closest to you, unbuttered.
  • Fold dough into thirds (like you would fold a letter) by pulling bottom third up over center and then pulling top third over middle.
  • Turn dough so short side faces you.
  • Pat into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle.
  • In same manner, spread again with 3 tablespoons soft butter and fold letter style.
  • Turn once more in the same manner.
  • Pat into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle; spread with remaining 3 tablespoons soft butter and fold up.
  • Work quickly and gently so as not to overwork dough.
  • Pat dough into rectangle 3/4-inch thick on floured surface.
  • Cut into squares with a sharp chef's knife.
  • Place on pan, 1 inch apart.
  • Lightly brush tops with melted butter.
  • Bake in center of hot oven about 20 minutes (about 12 minutes in convection), until golden brown and firm.
  • Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

FLAKY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits image

These biscuits are the perfect balance of buttery, sweet, and savory, resulting in a golden, fluffy addition to any meal. The true mark of perfect biscuits is the many layers, which involves multiple rounds of rolling and folding. When you taste these biscuits, you'll agree they're worth the effort.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, 8 ounces, chilled if using a standing mixer; frozen if using a food processor
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Melted unsalted butter, for brushing on the biscuits
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling, preferred brand Maldon

Steps:

  • Chill all the ingredients (except for the buttermilk) and all the equipment in the freezer, including the blade and bowl of the food processor. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and butter in the bowl of the food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is the texture of fine meal.
  • Transfer the flour mixture to a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, pour the buttermilk into the well, and mix by hand until the dough comes together.
  • Turn the dough onto a clean work surface, dust with flour, and roll it into a ½-inch thick rectangle, applying even pressure and squaring off the edges. Laminate the dough by folding it into thirds, like a letter, and dust with flour; then roll the dough into a ½-inch thick rectangle again. Repeat this procedure a total of seven times, dusting with flour as necessary.
  • Use the dough scraper to cut the dough into 2x2-inch squares; discard the excess dough. Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet close together, with about ¼-inch or less between them, so they'll touch gently when they bake. Chill the cut biscuits for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle them with the sea salt. Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven and serve warm.

SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Southern Buttermilk Biscuits image

These buttermilk biscuits are authentic. This recipe came from my great-great-grandmother, and was handed down to all the women in my family, and we are all Southern. I am the first one to commit the sin of using a food processor (lol) but I find it works very well. I would put these biscuits up against anyone's - they are perfect in every single way. I hope you all enjoy them.

Categories     Breads

Time 22m

Yield 10 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the board (if you can get White Lily flour, your biscuits will be even better)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder (use one without aluminum)
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold
1 cup buttermilk (approx)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Cut the butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles course meal.
  • If using a food processor, just pulse a few times until this consistency is achieved.
  • Add the buttermilk and mix JUST until combined.
  • If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. It should be very wet.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured board.
  • Gently, gently PAT (do NOT roll with a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times, gently press the dough down to a 1 inch thick.
  • Use a round cutter to cut into rounds.
  • You can gently knead the scraps together and make a few more, but they will not be anywhere near as good as the first ones.
  • Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet- if you like soft sides, put them touching each other.
  • If you like"crusty" sides, put them about 1 inch apart- these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together.
  • Bake for about 10-12 minutes- the biscuits will be a beautiful light golden brown on top and bottom.
  • Do not overbake.
  • Note: The key to real biscuits is not in the ingredients, but in the handling of the dough.
  • The dough must be handled as little as possible or you will have tough biscuits.
  • I have found that a food processor produces superior biscuits, because the ingredients stay colder and there's less chance of overmixing.
  • You also must pat the dough out with your hands, lightly.
  • Rolling with a rolling pin is a guaranteed way to overstimulate the gluten, resulting in a tougher biscuit.
  • Note 2: You can make these biscuits, cut them, put them on cookie sheets and freeze them for up to a month.
  • When you want fresh biscuits, simply place them frozen on the cookie sheet and bake at 450°F for about 20 minutes.
